Eurobricks member Nate has constructed Port Kingston for the Pillage the Village contest! At the year 1762, the peace treaty was signed. To remember this year the date was put on the government building in Port Kingston. Nate hasn't only been working on the date in the wall, he also made a splendid ship and port buildings with it!

Eurobricks member Evildead has entered the Large division in PTV2 with his Royale Trading Post. Build on the high rock called St. Ann's Cliff. Now there is finally peace, the rest returned to the island again! With great details and much more nice aspects this entry is a very good one!

Following a chance discovery of a secluded island tribe, local pirates struck up a bargain to turn a small part of the island into a safe retreat from Imperials. In exchange for some treasure the islanders allowed the pirates to come and go and conduct their business on the island. The pirates were satisfied with the arrangements and enjoyed their time with the natives, even accepting the strange vegetarian sacrifice ceremonies that took place from time to time.

The ship, named The Seeker, sailed out on the 6th of August and 6 weeks later it had reached the coast of an vast country. One of the sailors caught the sight of a some smoke between the trees and when the ship approached the shoreline they could see some people on land. At this moment Lieutenant Jones is on his way to make the very first contact with this unknown culture. Will they be friendly and a potential trade partner, or maybe aggressive with no interest of becoming servants under the mighty Empire? The crew on board of The Seeker with Captain Brown in command is waiting with caution.

After the peace on earth with pirates and imperials, the Redcoats and Bluecoats also decided to give peace. But with peace on earth, what are they going to do with all those cannons? Well one day a man thought of a great idea. The first ever water jet ski! Simply a cannon with a seat on it. Since these were dangerous, people hardly use these but every year Redcoats and Bluecoats gather on top of rocky island and watch as men from each side compete for the champion of rocky island! Using these cannon water jet skis. These were the first ever jet skis so they had no steering and no brakes which means this race could mean death...

Since the peaceful time came, duels couldn't be done using swords or pistols anymore. The governor found a solution by letting duelists using fishes. This is the best way not to get anyone hurt, while allowing gentlemen that have a problem to solve it with honor.

Eurobricks member Lego_Warlord_8 has been working on this brilliant entry in the medium division. The Grand Escape is full of action and nice minifigure posings. It looks like some pirates have just escaped from prison, and they are now rowing to sea and freedom! But first they should get rid of the chasing Imperial Guards! Will the pirates escape or will they end hanging on the gallows anyway?

In times of peace in the Caribbean, trade among everyone boomed without the threat of a pirate attack. Smaller ships such as this one where specifically for that purpose. With small crews and little to no defense they would stand no chance against pirate attacks, but in peaceful times they could be counted on to trade up and down the coasts.

In the early morning, at a port allied with the Imperial Fleet, mischief is at hard work. Knowing that the Captain Stelivus doesn't take well to stories of abnormal activities from abroad, one of the cabin boys, Peter, decided to make good of a poor situation for the captain. Stelivus had spent the previous evening at a feast for the local governor and came back to his room late, refusing to let any wine go to waste. Peter had planned for such a perfect set up for some time with one of the sailors, Jack.
Jack and Peter fashioned a so called "UFO" from some scrap steel, some ingenuity, and some precious stones they'd found.
